Hello everyone,

I’ve been trying to find some software for team collaboration on a private internal network. Think instant messenger but with file transfers, groups chats, and other team-based features. It would also be useful if all users could access the logs from the host.

Does anyone know of any reputable FOSS software that does this?

Thanks, Hirundinidae

    Sorry, I just saw the recommendations. I’m using a Matrix server myself. And it’s connected to the internet, since I use it 24/7 and on my phone, etc.

    I guess technically, most protocols can be used in an internal network. But maybe you’ll need to put in some extra effort, for example if a platform requires SSL certificates or something like that.

    I mean you could try… If it asks for a hostname, just put a local hostname in. Or the IP address. Or set up a DNS entry on the router. And see if it works.

    Or try something like RocketChat, or depending how your team’s workflow is, maybe you don’t want a messenger. But some (online) collaboration platform more focused on documents, like Nextcloud.
